Welcome to RoboCupRescue Agent Simulation Wiki
The RoboCup Rescue agent simulation league started in 2001. The purpose of the league is competitive research of AI, computer science/engineering, and robotics through international competitions. And the result of research, we would like to contribute to serious disaster problem.
The trigger for the RoboCup Rescue project was the Great Hanshi-Awaji earthquake which hit Kobe City on the 17th of January 1995 causing more than 6500 casualties, destroying more than 80,000 wooden houses and directly or indirectly affecting more than 1 million people. The damage of all infrastructures was evaluated at more than 1 billion US dollars.

RoboCup Rescue Projects
Rescue Simulation
RoboCupRescue Simulation Project is an open resource of research results. Various people worldwide participate in this simulator for research, entertainment, training, or education via the Internet. A diverse spectrum of possibilities of this technology will contribute to the creation of the safer social system in the future.
The RoboCupRescue Simulation Project is divided into two main strands which are each driven by RoboCup competitions.
Real Rescue Robot
RoboCup Rescue features real robot as well as simulation based competitions. The challenges for robots in the Rescue Robot League range from mechatronics for advanced locomotion over perception and planning up to providing full autonomy. The robots are evaluated in special test settings, the NIST rescue arenas (http://robotarenas.nist.gov/competitions.htm).
RoboCup World Championships
The RoboCup World Championships are every year organized on a different continent. Related agent wiki is as follows:
